Figure 2.
Treatment with Cox-2 inhibitors early in the VV infection fails to blunt VV-specific B cell antibody production. C57Bl/6 mice (n = 4) were administered vehicle, SC-58125 (5 mg/kg) or NS-398 (10 mg/kg) at the onset of infection and ending on day 6 (3 doses). Plasma titers of VV-specific IgM (A & B) and IgG (C & D) was determined by ELISA on day 14 and 28. The number of VV-specific antibody secreting cells were assessed by ELISPOTs performed on day 14 (E) and day 28 (F) for all antibody isotypes. Data are represented as mean ± SEM, * p <0.05.
